Zoom value
What is interesting/confusing is that the article is for Excel 97.
According to the article, the problem has been fixed in Excel 2000.
the cited article describes 4 requirements:
The Input range of the control is linked to a second worksheet.
-and-
.. You zoom both worksheets to percentages other than 100 percent.
-and-
.. The zoom percentage of the two sheets are not equal.
-and-
.. You move a toolbar over the control, click the control and choose values,
or you alternately select each of the two worksheets.
None of them mention a userform and you don't mention a toolbar. So, while
your problem may be related, it certainly isn't the one described as being
fixed in the article. (not to say it is fixed either - don't know; haven't
tested it).
Just for interest, there were several other articles on xl97 that were
related to the zoom percentage and out of memory errors.

Thanks gocush,
The reason for this set up is an intrinsic bug with Excel. I was having
problems with a user form that triggered an error message - "Not enough
systems resources to display completely." I discovered in the Knowledge
Base that this message can be triggered if the zoom value of the
source-data
sheet was less than 100 and different from the active sheet. When I
changed
the zoom of the source-data sheet to 100, the problem went away. (

===========================
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem no longer occurs in
Microsoft Excel 2000.
=============================
I am using Excel 2002, so I am wondering what is going on here? Anyway,
seems that the problem is solved for me if I keep the source-data sheet at
100 which I will set during the Auto_Open event.
Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know if this helps but some of the apps I have built require, or
at
least appear best with different zoom values for each sheet. During the
Wbk_Open event I set ScreenUpdating to False, activate each sheet and
set
its
zoom, then continue with other code. The zoom value of each sheet
remains
until changed again.

I can change the zoom value of a window with:
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 75
Is it possible to change the value of another sheet without activating
it?
Sheets("MySheet").zoom = 75 does not work
